Rsync and path

Changes to settings are automatically saved.

Version rsync

It is recommended to install the latest version of rsync using Homebrew. RsyncUI will determine the type of Mac you are using. The default path for Homebrew is:

• Intel-based Mac: /usr/local/bin
• Apple Silicon: /opt/homebrew/bin

Path rsync

If rsync is installed by Homebrew, the path is set to the default value or rsync if it is part of your macOS. The snapshot feature requires version 3.2.x of rsync.

If the version of rsync is not installed by Homebrew, set the path to rsync.

• If Rsync v3.x is enabled, set the optional path if not installed by Homebrew.
• Any version of rsync will work, but only versions 2.6.9 and the latest release of version 3.2.x have been tested and verified.

Path for restore

• Preset temporary path for restoring single files and catalogs
• Preset temporary path for a full restore

Backup configurations

You can backup the current setup, configurations, and logs, including all profiles, at any time by clicking the wrench button. The backup executes a copy to your Documents catalog and appends a timestamp -month-day-year/hour/minute to the copy.

The backups are located in your Documents catalog: $HOME/Documents/RsyncUIcopy-05-06-2024/08/21
